restarting as a sole trader

[zinnia48]

I was trading as a sole trader several years ago, i have my utr and gov gateway numbers, i have been employed but now want to revert to being a sole trader. I know i have to use form cfw1 to re registerwith my old utr numbrer. My question is can i use my old goverment gateway account to register for paye for my new company and other services, or should i get a new gateway account and statrt afresh.

Register as self employed with HMRC online at the link below, no need to do it on paper. No reason not to use your existing Government Gateway account.
